MTHFS Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: MTHFS

Official Full Name: methenyltetrahydrofolate synthetaseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 5-formyltetrahydrofolate to 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate, a precursor of reduced folates involved in 1-carbon metabolism. An increased activity of the encoded protein can result in an increased folate turnover rate and folate depletion. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]

Background

MTHFS Gene Knockout Cell Lines are innovative biotechnology tools specifically designed to facilitate the study of methylenetetrahydrofolate synthetase (MTHFS), a critical enzyme involved in folate metabolism and cellular methylation processes. These cell lines are genetically modified to inhibit the expression of the MTHFS gene, effectively rendering the cells functionally null for this enzyme. By creating a controlled environment where MTHFS activity is absent, researchers can dissect the role of this enzyme in various metabolic pathways, assess the impact on cellular behavior, and explore potential therapeutic interventions.

The primary function of these knockout cell lines is to provide a platform for unraveling the biological consequences of impaired folate metabolism, which is essential for DNA synthesis and repair, as well as amino acid metabolism. By employing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9, the knockout of the MTHFS gene results in significant alterations in cellular proliferation, apoptosis, and metabolic reprogramming, enabling insights into conditions like cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders that have been linked to folate dysregulation.

Scientifically, the MTHFS Gene Knockout Cell Lines hold immense value in both research and clinical settings. Their utility spans from drug discovery to functional genomics, offering researchers a robust model system to evaluate the effects of pharmacological agents targeting epigenetic modifiers or metabolic enzymes. Furthermore, these cell lines empower scientists to investigate gene-environment interactions, particularly in personalized medicine where individual metabolic profiles can dictate treatment efficacy.

The distinct advantages of MTHFS Gene Knockout Cell Lines lie in their specificity and reproducibility. Unlike alternative models, these lines eliminate variability associated with wild-type gene expression, allowing for clearer interpretation of experimental results. Moreover, the flexibility for various experimental designs, including high-throughput screening, positions these cell lines as a superior choice for researchers seeking to derive actionable insights.

For researchers, clinicians, and biopharmaceutical companies, the value of MTHFS Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their ability to enhance the understanding of folate metabolism’s role in health and disease. Our company, with a commitment to advancing scientific discovery, offers not only these state-of-the-art cell lines but also extensive support in experimental design and data interpretation, ensuring you have the tools and expertise needed to drive your research forward.
